Apple Store Down Ahead of iPad mini Pre-Orders [Update]

The Apple Store just went down for iPad mini pre-orders. iPad mini pre-orders begin on October 26th, and in the past they come online first thing in the morning. From observations in the past, I have noticed that they usually come online at 12:01 AM PST / 3:01 AM Eastern. I’ll make sure to update this post when things come back online.

The WiFi only model will only be available for purchase in retail stores on Friday, November 2nd, with pre-orders beginning to arrive that same day. iPad mini with cellular capabilities will begin shipping a few weeks after the WiFi models, first in the U.S. on AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon, with other countries following later.
